There are like 4 days a year everyone just puts their old sofas, broken TVs and other junk outside to be collected by a garbage truck the next day. As this furniture is mostly usable, people in white vans go around to collect the most valuable stuff, which makes up most of the traffic in villages on those days and causes old people to complain about Polish immigrants.

The village children also have a look around if the weather is nice. Village adults don't, not because they are above it, but since there is a genuine risk a neighbour you've known for decades will sue you for stealing; the garbage does belong to them still as the courts have determined.

Edit: Sorry for forgetting the most important part.

I don’t think the furniture thing is that unique. I’ve been in a few countries where that’s called a council pickup and pretty common.

In 150km of travel you can technically cover elevation of > 8,500 m

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

My country is the opposite. It's pretty much impossible to travel 150km and accumulate more than 8500 height meters. (highest point is 170 meters, and it's a loooong walk to get there).

High medical bills

Probably like, 95% of the people in my city are either neutral or supportive of LGBT people. The last 5% are so fucking insane that it's still scary to be LGBT. - (major Texas city)

Edit: I kinda assume this is unique because I'd think most places are either safe (with the occasional heckler) or completely unsafe. Texas seems special because it seems like most people don't care or are supportive, but then you get the nutjob who's entire reality is shattered by the idea that you aren't straight and/or cisgendered and all they can do is get apocalyptically mad about your existence.

Edit 2: oh yeah, on a less depressing note, iirc Texas is like, sorta kinda half canyon. Iirc Palo Duro canyon doesn't really have an end to it, it just kinda.... widens until it becomes part of the normal landscape (I might be thinking of a different canyon though). As such, you could basically consider anything downstream from the canyon as being inside the canyon, resulting in a huge chunk of Texas existing in a canyon!
